The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a game changer after sharing a similar spec as its cousin the S7 Edge and plus a highly sophisticated S pen and stretching its curved display to 5.7-inches. The price tag is relatively big, much like the size of the device but equally worth it just by its looks. The Note Galaxy 7 is the large-screen phone of the year that all android users have been anxiously waiting for. The Note 7 maximizes the screen space with its newly functional S pen that slides right into the phone no matter way you put it in this time. Overall it is a fantastically clever, all-rounder that turns heads with its contemporary sleek design. It is completely formed from metal and glass and It stands out as being the best-looking phone you can buy right now as it’s more ergonomic than the HTC 10, less boring than the iPhone 6S and not as sharp as the Nexus 6P. It's also water-resistant enough to be dunked in the bath for about 30 minutes.

FOR

Elegantly curved design

Best camera on any smartphone

New S Pen functionality

Water-resistant microSD card slot

Excellent Battery life

AGAINST

Very expensive

Touchy capacitive buttons

Speaker at the bottom

Pointless iris scanner

Software is still ugly
